[2] Found out that school teachers were not those who directly introduced technology to students, but it was strongly associated with peers and other people. While [20] findings indicated that rural respondents had more frequent interactions with their family members and friends than with their neighbors and general populations.…”

The purpose of this research was to explain demographic characteristics, communication methods, telecenter accessibility, and people attitude towards telecenter utilization, and; to compare people attitude towards telecenter utilization by demographic characteristics, communication methods, and telecenter accessibility. A Random sample of 377 users from the population of 13,730 telecenter users of Wat Saket and Wat Potikaram, Roi Et Province of Thailand was used. The chief research instrument was questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, t-test and ANOVA including LSD were used to analyze the collected data. Results showed no gender disparity, users were young and educated. Main source of telecenter information was community radio and purpose of telecenter use was for information. Hypotheses testing found people with different demographic characteristics had no significant difference in attitude towards telecenter utilization, people encouraged by different communication methods had no significant difference in attitude towards telecenter utilization, and people with different items of telecenter accessibility, i.e. frequency of access/week, duration of access/week, had no significant difference in attitude towards telecenter utilization. However, people with different items of telecenter accessibility i.e. purpose of access, distance travelled and access to computer at home had significant difference in attitude towards telecenter utilization.

“…ICTD scholars tend to focus on children (Hussain, 2010;Salinas & Sánchez, 2009), women (Shroff & Kam, 2011) or low-literate people (Thies, 2014). To illustrate this fact, we conducted a desktopbased search using different combinations of the words: elderly, older people, older adults, ICTD and ICT4D in two databases -Scopus and Web of knowledge -and Journals -Information Technology for Development and International Journal of Educational Development.…”

Telecenters take on a prominent role within the current information and communications technology (ICT) ecosystem in Brazil. They are seen by a great many as a key means to foster the digital inclusion of the older population in the country. This paper draws upon a rapid ethnographic study conducted with 78 older people in a center that teaches computer classes to seniors in Brazil. The results show that providing older people with technological infrastructures is not enough to strengthen their digital inclusion if their basic and non-instrumental needs are not taken into consideration in defining educational activities to be carried out in public centers. Participants' basic needs when it comes to interacting with ICT, such as coping with accessibility issues, were dynamic, whilst noninstrumental needs, fulfilled by using these technologies, such as interacting with relevant others, remained fairly constant throughout the study. Drawing on the results of the study, strategies for fostering the digital inclusion and well-being of older people in Brazil that go beyond telecenters are suggested.

“…This component is the least explored in the area of e-inclusion. Empowerment is particularly prominent at present owing to a strong relationship between e-inclusion or exclusion and social inclusion or exclusion established in a vast body of research [20], [19], [13], [9], [3], [26], [16], [27], [17], [23], [24]. The problem is also lack of studies that are focused on impact of ICT on quality of life and empowerment.…”

Information and communication technologies (ICT) play an important role in the development of knowledge societies which, on the whole, constitute priority for governments worldwide. For a long time, measurement of unequal access to exploiting the potential of ICT used to be based on the digital divide concept. However, due to a strong relationship between ICT use and social inclusion/exclusion confirmed in current research, this concept has lately become inadequate. Such a complex issue also requires a much more complex approach, which explains why the concept of e-inclusion is more adequate. Insufficient operationalization of the e-inclusion concept, which implies an insufficient number of identified indicators as well as the quantity of collected data, represents a major problem in the existing research on e-inclusion. A multiperspective, multimethodological and multidimensional approach is therefore proposed to overcome this problem.
